The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 395 Ambush and Counter-Ambush 1

On September 15th of the third year of Xianheng, Li Xian issued a letter in Longzhou to the eastern capital. The prince was believed it. He thought it was a good opportunity to suppress the future. He discussed it in his heart, so he reported it to the highest sect. When the emperor heard the details of Li Xian's assassination, he was furious and issued an edict to thoroughly investigate the case. The joint name of the prince and the king of England handed over the case to Lin Qi, the imperial historian. The main trial ordered the Dali Temple, the soldiers, the criminal and other departments to investigate to make clear the right and wrong. However, under the imperial edict, the urgent report of Qizhou arrived. The post station was attacked, and all the escort officers and soldiers were poisoned to death. The criminals Zhao Zhao, Zhang Ping'an and Wang Qiannan died, and the bandits in Longdong were missing. It is suspected that it was caused by the chaos of the remnants of the "black wind thief". Clouds.

The suspicious case is also a suspicious case. Gao Zong was so angry that he lay on the bed again. In his anger, he issued four edicts - first, the three families of Zhao, Zhang and Wang were exiled to Leizhou. In case of amnesty, he was not forgiven. He demolished the four sages in Hebei involved in the case, and all the old and young of the village were sold as slaves; second, Le The Ministry of Criminal Justice issued sea arrest documents, and it was clearly ordered that all states must arrest Sha Wanli and Huyan Tiexin. Third, the government affairs were under the charge of Li Xian, the crown prince of the superintendent, and the prime ministers such as Pei Xingjian and Liu Renjue all served as the prince's concubine, the left and right concubines and other senior officials of the East Palace to assist the prince to govern the country. Fourth, the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies were sent to the front of the Hexi Army. Li Xian and the army, but before the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies left the realm of Henan, Li Xian had received a letter from Dongdu. This time, he saw that the matter was really as expected. In addition to shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he did not know what to say. Because of the current enemy, Li Xian was neither the intention nor power to take care of those farts in the court. Son, there is something that annoys Li Xian at the moment - the grain transportation team has been robbed!

This war broke out suddenly. Li Xian's army in Hezhou was in a hurry, and it was impossible to bring enough grain and rice. Zhang Jianzhi could only host the heavy task of mobilization of grain and grain in the back, and set up the logistics battalion in the Heishi Mountain camp, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, with 5,000 elite soldiers from Yumen Pass. Wei, since the strong attack of the Tubo army, but the road of more than 300 miles from the Blackstone Mountain Camp to Phanghan City is not so easy to walk. During this period, the terrain is complex, there are not only hills, rivers, and endless grasslands. There are too many places that can be ambushed. With insufficient troops, even if Li Xian can, it is impossible. With the defense everywhere, coupled with the Tubo army on the side, Li Xian did not dare to send too many troops to escort the grain. In this way, the Tubo army was given the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob. Just yesterday, a grain transport team was robbed by the Tubo cavalry, and the hundreds of soldiers escorted were defeated and killed!

There are still some grain in Li Xianjun. It is not a problem to pay for more than ten days, but there are still more than 20 days before winter. No matter how much grain is saved, it is not enough. The grain has to be transported forward, but if it is not safe, it can only be cheap. For the Tubo people, how to solve the Tubo army's sneak attack has become a difficult problem in front of Li Xian.

In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of troops. If Li Xian can have 20,000 more soldiers and horses, this problem will not be difficult to solve at all - Li Xian has already carefully calculated the strength comparison between the two sides, and it is clear that at least 40,000 troops are needed to defend the Fanghan City Battalion, and at present, there are only 45,000 troops in the Banhan City Battalion. It's just barely enough. No matter how few, there will be problems in defense. In other words, the mobile force in Li Xian's hand is only such a pitiful 5,000 people. Even if all of them are sent out to escort food and grass, they can deter the Tubo's sneak attack army. You should know that the Tubo cavalry that robbed food yesterday can It is the whole deployment of 10,000 troops. Obviously, without a detailed plan, this grain will not be shipped from the front-line camp in any case.

Fight, no matter how difficult it is, you have to fight. You must beat the Tubo army who came to rob the grain to ensure the safety of the grain transportation team. There is no doubt about this. Li Xian's heart is very clear, but he is very particular about how to fight this battle. After all, Li Xian doesn't hope at present. In a head-on confrontation with the powerful Tubo army, all he can do is to make full use of the psychology that the Tubo army must rob grain to design a perfect trap. Of course, it is not easy to induce the Tubo people to take the bait. For this reason, Li Xian has been alone in the middle army's tent all night. I thought of one method after another, but I didn't dare to win easily. After all, I only have a little mobile force on hand. In case a family loses all of them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Come on!"

When it is broken, it will suffer from chaos! Li Xian knew this truth very well. After defering the large sand table for dozens of times, he couldn't achieve a 100% success rate, and Li Xian was no longer wasting time. Huo Ran stood up, clapped his hands, and drank loudly.

"The end will be!"

Listening to Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who had been waiting outside the account for a long time, did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly ran into the big account, bowed side by side and answered quickly.

"Go and call Li He and Xu Yuanmao to see the orphan immediately."

Li Xian didn't talk much nonsense and ordered directly.

"No!"

Liu Ziming answered respectfully and hurriedly withdrew from the Zhongjun account. In a few moments, he accompanied Li and Xu Er to walk in from the account.

"The last general, Li He (Xu Yuanmao), see Your Highness!"

Li and Xu Er's generals entered the big tent of the Chinese army. When they saw Li Xian sitting high on the head with awe, they didn't dare to make mistakes. They hurriedly rushed forward and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, yesterday, the whole army of our military grain transport team was destroyed, and hundreds of soldiers were stained with yellow sand. I think the two generals already know about it, and I won't say more. Today, I'm waiting for you to wait for the whole army to escort the grain. I don't know what the two generals think?" Li Xianxu raised his hand and motioned the second general to flatten down, and then opened his mouth with a little pain.

"The last general obeys the order, and he will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness!"

Li He has always obeyed Li Xian's order. Since Li Xian has an order, he will not have the slightest ambiguity, so he agreed first.

"Your Highness, the thief army bullied our army, so he dares to divide the troops and cut off my food. If you go to transport food again, I'm afraid that the thief army will attack again, and you have to be prepared."

Xu Yuanmao is a veteran. He is cautious by nature and does not dare to take orders easily. Instead, he cautiously reminded him.

"General Xu, you don't understand now. Your Highness asked me to come. How could there be no good strategy to break the enemy? We just follow Your Highness's plan, and we will come back with a great victory!"

As soon as he heard Xu Yuanmao's statement, Li He couldn't help it. In his opinion, Xu Yuanmao was questioning Li Xian's authority and rudely refuted Xu Yuanmao.

"Uh-huh!"

Li Xian stared at Li He unhappily. He was so scared that he quickly closed his mouth. His face was solemn and he pretended to be serious, but the skin between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed. He looked at it so that Li Xian really couldn't laugh or cry. He simply didn't bother to pay attention to him. He coughed and took out a brocade. The bag was handed to Xu Yuanmao and said with a smile, "General Xu, you are the master of this grain transportation. Li He is the auxiliary. There is a kit here. Let's put it away first. If you encounter a large attack by the enemy on the way to transport grain, then open it!"

"No!"

Xu Yuanmao couldn't understand how much Li Xian was playing tricks. He was full of doubts and puzzles, but he didn't dare to ask more. He could only answer the promise loudly and respectfully reached out to take over the kit.

"Li He!"

Li Xian turned his eyes to Li He, who was a little unhappy, and drank in a calm voice, which made Li He's body tremble suddenly.

"The end will be!"

Li He and Xu Yuanmao are both military generals. They are in the same status with each other, and they think that they are Li Xianzhi's direct line. They are a little unhappy about Xu Yuanmao's appointment as the chief general. But as soon as they see Li's sharpness, they are shocked. How dare they be jealous anymore? They hurriedly bowed together and hurriedly. Answer.

"Gu Linger immediately led his troops to rush back to the Blackstone Mountain Camp with General Xu. After arriving, Mr. Zhang will make an explanation to you. Just follow it. If there is any negligence, be careful of your skin!" Li Xian glanced at Li He coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Li Xian's majesty is not a joke. Li He has been teaching too much for a long time. When he saw Li Xian's face, he didn't dare to be very careless. He could only take his life with respect.

"It's the best. Let's go down and get ready!"

Seeing that Li He had restrained his mind, Li Xian was just for himself. As soon as he waved his hand, he issued an order to expel the guests, and sent out all the two generals to the big account of the Chinese army, and then he stretched out fiercely. Only then did he realize that he was sleepy and panic. Thinking that there was nothing to do, he immediately walked back to the back account and fell heavily in the march** As soon as the head touched the pillow, the person fell asleep...

"Tow him over, Woba, you bastard, use a little strength, lift it, come on, work harder!"

"Manggu, hold on, hold on, sweep with your feet, quickly, sweep him with your feet!"

"Good job, lift it, lift it quickly..."

......

Just as Li Xian was sleeping soundly, there was a lot of noise in the Chinese army tent of the Tubo battalion, and a celebration banquet was going on in a high and heavy place - although the victory of the food robbery was only a victory that could not be small, it was a victory for the Tubo army, which had suffered many setbacks, it was a victory to boost morale, Kar Qinling. I will not let go of such an opportunity to improve the morale of the army, so I ordered a banquet for the three armies. At this time, the wine has been half full, and a wrestling fight is being carried out nervously. Both sides of the competition are the most famous wrestlers in the army. Compared with the generals, it can be said that they are evenly matched. Both sides have their own supporters, and the cheers and cheers are almost loud. The big account was overturned.

"Report, Daxiang, the two thieves of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Yuanmao and Li He, have a total of 5,000 troops, left the camp and are rushing in the direction of Blackstone Mountain!"

Just as there was a lot of noise in the account, a newspaper came in a hurry and reported the dynamics of the Tang army. The noise suddenly disappeared, and the eyes of all the generals fell on the slightly frowned gar Qinling...
